Roses are red...

...and violets are blue,
are you just another sucker,
who doesn't have a clue?
Look, a friend of mine put it perfectly(and you know who you are...Shad) "...there ARE 364 other days of the year to show her that you care, try using some of them!" I kind of agree with him here. I'm sick of all the Valentines day hype and gosh darn jewelery commercials! Red hearts, stupid ugly bears and balloons everywhere. Gross chocolates completely overpriced and lets not even talk about how much people will try and charge for a dozen tiny wimpy roses! All of it just really makes me sick. Now lets make something clear, it's not that i've lost my innate romantic nature. I mean being italian and all, you’re kinda just born with it and it comes natural! If you’re not Italian, you just don’t understand!(Chris, don't laugh too hard now)!;) But seriously, it's a completely useless "holiday" that gets "Joe Consumer" out there to buy their dumb $25 Mr. Squeeze-o-lot Teddy Bear, $60-$90 Roses, $20 chocolates and why not pick up a card and balloon while you're there? Ugh, drives me nuts! And the pressure!!
Don't get me wrong, I got a card for Chris, one for Olivia and one for Olivia to give her mother. Hey, I'm not stupid! You gotta get something!;)
Happy Valentines Day Everybody!!
